Chapter 1

Beaten and Saved

 

Kagome laid down in the small box, she didn't touch the bacon next to her. The smell of it made her stomach hurt. She whined and whimpered as feelings of hurt and betrayal raced through her mind. Her mom left her in the alleyway alone

 

She placed her small paw through the hole on the side of the box hoping her mama would come back.

 

“Hey you guys check this out.” A boy of twelve picked up the shoe box and tore the lid off. His fiery red hair covered his eyes as he turned around so the three of them could look inside. Maybe it was treasure, new pair of shoes or maybe it was a box full of cold hard cash.

 

When they peered in the box they found a small black puppy with a pink little nose.

 

“Ahh man.” One of the boys complained. “It's just a stupid stinking mutt.” The word bad, was what Kagome first thought when she seen the young boy almost teenagers peer into the box. He was the embodiment of a bully; he even looked the part; black spiked hair, studded collar and a leathered jacket. He looked into the box obviously disappointed. He reached into the box extended his finger jabbing it at the pup.

 

“Ijimekko!” Demanded the boy with the fiery hair, his onyx eyes burned into Ijimekko's. “Want to play a game of catch?”

 

“Why not Shingai I think it would be fun.” He turned his attention towards the silent boy. “How about you Hissori, you want to play?”

 

Hissori nodded his head though hesitantly. His soft spoken words broke through the silence. “What do we play with, there is no ball?”

 

Both Ijimekko and Shingai shared a knowing smile, Shingai who held the puppy in his arms threw it towards Ijimekko.

 

Kagome let out a startled yelp, she never thought the boy would throw her. What a cruel soul he must have. She cried helplessly as the boy who held her throw her up into the air. Scared out of her mind Kagome watched the ground getting closer and closer.

 

Hissori out stretched his hands and caught the little inu just before she hit the ground. He held her closely to his chest while petting her fur. “I don't believe it is a good idea to throw a little puppy.” His eyes were focused on the ground. He was scared as to what his friends would do. Hissori was the weakest out of the three boys and he usually ended up being pushed around.

 

“Come on Hissori, live a little. Your mother keeps you on a short leash, not lettin' ya do nuttin'.”

 

“But beating up a small puppy isn't fun, its wrong.” Hissori pleaded with the other two boys his eyes tearing up giving them the most convincing look he could muster.

 

“Give it here!” Shingai pushed at him and forced the inu out of his arms and once again threw it towards Ijimekko. “I thought you were cool, man.” He pulled back his arm and swung his arm at Hissori hitting him in the jaw.

 

Kagome didn't know what to do. When both of the boys where fighting over her she was squeezed so tightly she could hardly breath, but now while in the arms of Ijime-something she panicked.

 

Biting into the closest appendage Kagome let her teeth sink into the boys' finger as hard as she possibly could. She held onto his finger in a death grip fearful of what would happen if she let go.

 

Ijimekko let out a girlish shriek when the mutts' teeth suck onto his finger. He cradled his hand trying to dislodge her from his swore finger. He used his hand to punch at her head forcing her to let go of his bitten body part.

 

Ijimekko cuddled his finger looking it over to observe the damage done. The tissue that's been bitten was beginning to swell, red with blood flowing freely from the imprints from the pups teeth which will surely leave a scare.

 

He glared down at the mutt, he'd teach the little bitch a lesson.

 

Hope was all she had left, she couldn't fend these bullies off all by herself. She needed someone to help her, `but then who would' she asked herself. Her mother didn't want her and now these boys are hurting her. `Did I do something wrong?'

 

Shingai looked up at his spiked haired friend from the floor with Hissori under neigh him. He watched his friend pick up the pup by the nape of its neck and threw her towards the nearest building.

 

Kagome closed her eyes as the mean boy threw her into the wall hitting it with a crack. Her body then hit the ground with a small thud, shortly after she shook her head trying to get ride of the aching pain while trying to bring her legs out from under neigh her, but her front left paw clasped bringing her whole body with it.  

 

The boy who threw her to the ground nudged her with his foot further pushing her against the wall. 

 

Kagome feeling cornered growled as viciously as she could, her small growls only brought laughter.  She tried to bit at the boy again when his hand reached out of her.

 

She looked helplessly at Hissori as the hand pinched at her ears as well as forcing her muzzle into the ground. "Lick da dirt ya stupid mutt."

 

Hissori watched as his friend torture the harmless puppy, he wanted to do something, but he didn't know what to do. He looked around the street only to find no one around.   

 

He pushed Shingai off of him with all of his might, when he managed to do so he ran off looking for the nearest phone or adult.   

 

He ran out of the alleyway and down the street running towards the WacDonald's around the corner.

 

Hissori skidded to a halt as he had almost ran past the main entrance of the fast food restaurant. Breathing in as calmly as he could Hissori felt his lungs expanding as oxygen entered his airless lungs.

 

He looked around the restaurant looking for someone who could help, his eyes scanned the people around him until he saw a uniformed officer feeding a small baby. Beside him was a woman with long black hair that seemed to flow down her back, her arms were linked with that of the silvered haired officer.

 

Hissori took a few steps towards the happy couple, he didn't want to disturb them, but the life of the inu pup depended on him. Gathering what courage he had left he tapped the officer on the shoulder.

 

“E-excuse me sir, but I need your help…” The man turned around, his golden eyes pierced through at of his own, Hissori swallowed the extra saliva that gathered in his mouth from nervousness. “There is a small puppy being beaten up in the ally way near Usi Street…” The boy did not get to finish what he was saying fore the officer was already out the door.

 

It took Touga less than a second to reach Usi Street, his eyes widened in horror as the boys kicked the little pup against the wall. He immediately reacted by using his demonic speed to stand behind both of the boys, his clawed hands grabbed at the boys ears forcing them away from the small beaten form.

 

Shingai and Ijimekko let out screams of pain as the man behind them took a hold of their ears. “Hay man let go, I aint done nothin'.”

 

Touga ignored their protests, he pushed them against the wall opposite to the one they had been torturing the poor creature against. “Don't move!”

 

Touga went back to the pup and kneeled by its side, He checked her over, she seemed to be breathing but was unconscious other than that he could not tell.

 

His senses told him that the two boys were inching towards the main street. “Where do you think you boys are going?” Both boys stiffened and stopped their advance towards freedom.

 

The officer lifted the portable radio on his shoulder to his mouth, “This is Staff Sergeant Takashi I need assistance on Usi Street, over.”

 

“Back up will be there shortly sir. Over…” He put the radio back on his shoulder and scooped the black puppy into his arms, his attention was once again brought back to the boys.

 

“Animal Abuse is a federal crime here in Japan, I will not be surprise if you get charged, wither or not you go to the youth prison or not is up to the judge.”

 

The sirens of a cop car saved Touga from continuing his little speech, not seconds later the cop car pulled up next to the alleyway as two police officers got out of the car after the engine was shut off.

 

“Read these boys their rights and notify their parents, I'll write up a report first thing tomorrow morning.”

 

“Yes sir!”

 

He walked out of the alley way with the broken pup in his arms, its black fur was matted with dirt and blood, its front left paw looked broken, but other than that the little pup looked fine. He looked more closely around the pups neck and found a collar with `Kagome' labelled on it

 

The little boy that had told him about the pup stood behind the police car, he looked nervous and upset.

 

“How is the…?”

 

Touga was surprised that the boy spoke, but happily answered him. “The pup is fine, go home kid, you had a rough day.”

 

He took off towards the fast food restaurant where he left his family.

 

“Lets take you home and take care of you.”
